Family business? Mum, 64, arrested with bike ‘stolen by daughter’
Ubon Ratchathani police have arrested a 64-year-old mother for having allegedly collaborated with her daughter to steal motorcycles.
Pol Major Wichit Putpim, inspector of Muang Ubon Ratchathani police station, said Or (not her real name), 64, was captured in the carpark of a shopping mall on Tuesday beside a stolen motorcycle.
Police were alerted after Tananchanok Supophak, 32, and friends recognised Or as the mother of a suspected thief, Ae (not her real name), 32.
Tananchanok’s motorcycle was stolen from her house and security camera footage allegedly identified Ae driving it away.
Wichit said the motorcycle found with Or did not belong to Tananchanok but was stolen from Ayutthaya.
Police checked Or’s house and found another stolen motorcycle but did not find Tananchanok’s bike.
Wichit said police would try to locate and arrest the daughter and would charge the mother as an accomplice.
